well what a week it has been.....WOYWW 5th anniversary and the WOYWW crop (I didn't go so, no pictures from me).

And the long awaited wedding of DD3 (on sunny sunday )

sweeties anyone?

If you don't know what WOYWW is..... then shame on you and get over to the http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/ to check it out.
A big round of applause to Julia for organising this weekly amusement arcade for the last 5 years .... did you ever imagine how it would turn out 5 years later?
Anyway enough chat here's the photos...... and lots of them

Both sides. . . . just finished making the WOYWW 5 sign at the top.
I am taking part in the ATC swap, I have a few spare so if you would like one and haven't told me yet please e mail me and I will see how many I have left.

I received this one last week from our lovely leader Julia Dunnit herself

And this one from non other than LLJ

This is mine ..... the theme is mess is more . . . . . fun
Finally a few crafty makes from the wedding that have been under wraps

My beaded bag and hat

Necklace and earing, which I finished on the day!

The menu with a fabulous picture drawn by Erin's half sister.

The sweetie themed table plan.... names have been removed to protect the innocent ha ha!

The hot pink leopard print chest to put wedding cards in

The card I made for the happy couple (made this afternoon....!)

Finally a picture of my beautiful Daughter and GD

Don't you just love the hot pink suede shoes..... and the chair.

All those months of planning, then..... blink and you'll miss it.

Oh well that's done,
I'm off to visit as many of you as time allows. Thanks for visiting.........
Please leave your linky number and I visit you back.

Hi PeepsWednesday again.... so soon, where do the days go (I know we say it every week, but it's true). Its been a very busy week again.... some wedding or other you may have seen me mention before (I will have to find a new subject next week).pop over to Julia's stamping-ground. to see what this weekly extravaganza is all about

You get a BOGOF this week.....this is my lap desk on Tuesday evening with wedding stuff on .... still beading for my hat to match the bag I made last week and a necklace (who needs sleep).

And .....my craft room desk with the remains of my ATC making for the 5th Anniversary swap, next week. I have a few spares if you would like one just let me know (I have given some to Julia to take to the crop at the weekend).Here you can see lots of stamps, ink pads,a strange shaped mask (the green blob), a roll of oil paper I use for the mask (brilliant). At the back are the stamps for my GD birthday card... if I get time to make it tomorrow, Aghhhh! ... so much to do so little time.Anyway gotta go I will visit as many commenters as I can this week and apologise in advance if I don't get to you.janet

hi peepsyes I know! Wednesday again so soon.... we say this every week don't we?Here's my desk (messy side) this week, not very messy but its a beginning, my theme is Mess is More! because ... well the messier the better! there is about 10-12 magazines ..... mostly unread but I'm slowly getting through them.

The 5th anniversary Of WOYWW is only 2 weeks away I thought I really should start on my ATCs ... so I did just that, but only just. Don't know what I am talking about .....really ? you really must pop over and join in the funhttp://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/On the left is some tissue I might be using on my ATC's and next to this a first draught... maybe, on the right is a lovely bark background stamp I won from the artistic stamper, wood is the symbol for 5th wedding anniversary (well its similar)Sadly, I cannot go to the Anniversary crop but I have made a raffle prize if I can get it to Julia in time.... here is a sneak peek.

I bagged a bargain this week in Poundland ....... a pack of 30 sheets of smooth 200g white card.... for ... yes only a pound! Its good stuff too.

If you visited last week you may remember I was beading a bag for DD3 wedding.... here is the finished bag ... I don't mind showing this in advance as it's not really a spoiler. the pattern was in the new sewing magazine.... Love Sewing.... and I do.

Another blogger who loves sewing and has just joined the blogging world is my DD1 so if you get time hop over to her new blog and say Hi....she is a very talented embroiderer and trained at The Royal School of Needlework at Hampton court... not that she will say that as she is quite modest ... but Mums are allowed brag!emma's sew happy I

Hi Peeps, I nearly forgot it was Wednesday ( although I am writing this Tuesday evening) so I will make it quick, but that's just how Julia likes it....see what it's all about here what's on your work desk Wednesday

So.......Here's my desk, a bit different to the usual. It is my lap tray with some beading on it. I decided to make something to go on a handbag I am making ( yes!. ... for the wedding).I'm not using all the beads just the ones at the front.

I have also been working on my Documented Life Project journal and have caught up 2 weeks, the first one is to use some cardboard food packaging. Chocolate! What else.

The next page is mono tone .... It had to be red.

The rest of my room looks like this. Much the same as last week.

So join in if you dare, there are lovely crafters and artists out there waiting to share their creative space with you.

Sorry if I didn't get back to you last week I will try harder this week.... promise

MY ETSY SHOP

This thing in my head

i worked part time at a local department store . . in the craft dept of course, they payed me to play with and sometimes even sell lovely craft stuff. i love to try new techniques and experiment with everything crafty. Since my diagnosis of a brain tumour I haven't been doing very much Obviously , but now I'm home on paillliative care
I might have more energy to do more if I'm allowing too that is.
Don't seem to be able to consent rate on my complicated tank top pattern for kilian though so the question is whether or not to be the same as the back pattern make the front differently
